Right, about that
I'm alive. Oops on the not posting for ten months.
Got addicted to spinning. Like, really addicted, as in I now own three wheels, many many spindles, a drum carder, a table loom, and am going to start selling stuff in about two weeks at a teeny little festival called YarnCon. I still can't really knit very well, and learning to weave keeps getting put off, but it'll happen eventually. At least I can make some *really* kickass yarn. Also addicted to a site called Ravelry, which is where most of my online time has gone, and where I've learned most of what I know about spinning and textiles. I'm RayOfFingSunshine over there if anyone wants to find me.
Still with Steve. He's graduated, still depressed and jobless, but is trying to pull himself out of the rut he's dug himself into by going to therapy and taking a few grad school courses. It's frustrating sometimes, but we're still together anyway, and still love each other. Two years. Damn.
Still at the part-time job at the law firm, too. Really need to figure out what the hell I'm going to go to grad school for, as I'm not entirely positive law school is it anymore. There's just not enough good jobs out there for the kind of attorney I'd want to be, and school is really fucking expensive to go through if I don't know I'll be earning enough of a salary to pay for it. I'm not even sure I'd be happy as an attorney. Thus, it's on hold, if it's happening at all, except that I have no idea what I might want to do instead.
I've kind of been avoiding KoL since the whole Con + KoLumbus fuckwittery last year, which probably needs to stop, as I miss everyone and life is really not very interesting without them.
So, yeah, that's pretty much everything that's happened since my last post. The short version, anyway. I'm a little older, hopefully a little more stable, and...waiting, I guess. Not sure what for.
